Manziel provides more evidence he’s likely a short-timer in Aggieland

COLLEGE STATION – Last Thursday night at the Brazos County A&M Club Coach’s Night, Aggies coach Kevin Sumlin wisecracked, “I think we’re going to be all right at quarterback.”

At least on Saturdays in the fall. The rest of the time, Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel has proven quite a handful. The latest eyebrow-raising event occurred at 1:38 Sunday morning, when Manziel apparently posted on his Twitter account to about 350,000 followers, “(Expletive) like tonight is a reason why I can’t wait to leave college station…whenever it may be.”

Let’s just say the word he used is a familiar one around Aggieland based on the school’s affinity for agriculture.

Manziel is eligible for the NFL draft following this season, and all indications are he’s going to take full advantage of the opportunity – with the tweet providing even more evidence. He took all online courses during the past spring semester to avoid hassles on campus, although, like many 20 years olds, he’s a regular on the night scene and, unlike many 20 year olds, a frequent courtside guest at marquee NBA games.

In any case, Manziel or someone else deleted the tweet, but he had also posted around the same time, “Don’t ever forget that I love A&M with all of my heart, but please please walk a day in my shoes.”

Considering he comes from wealth and regularly enjoyed the “finer things” even prior to winning the Heisman, some Twitter respondents weren’t exactly feeling his pain at that point. Manziel and the Aggies report for training camp in early August – which likely can’t come soon enough for Sumlin and his staff.
